Skip Hire Permits
Allen Waste will not be able to provide skip hire services where a license or permit is required and this has not been arranged in advance through the local council.
We advise you to check your local councils' skip hire permit guidelines to find out more about this process. To apply for a skip permit you first need to identify the appropriate local authority. You can use the 'Find your Local Authority' tool on Direct.gov.uk to do this.
Some councils in London require you to apply directly to them for a permit, however most will require the application to come from the skip hire company. It is worth noting that there may be a different application for long-term skip hire as apposed to short-term skip hire, as different councils have different expiry dates. Contact us if you are in any doubt about what is required and in most cases we can make the arrangements for you.

Allen Waste have a competitive pricing structure and we will do our best to be flexible, should arrangements need changing, for example you find you need to hire for a longer period or you need to hire a bigger skip that you first thought.

Allen Waste disposes of waste in a responsible and professional manner and in compliance with environmental and government guidelines. We are licensed by the Envionment Agency. (Licences are issued to ensure that waste management facilities do not pollute the environment, cause harm to human health or serious detriment to local amenities.

We follow procedures to ensure that a high proportion of the waste collected by us is recycled.
- The area where the skip will be sited
There may be problems and difficulties associated with the location, such as the need for parking permits, this must be considered when providing the skip delivery and collection service.
- Number of skips, size of skips and length of time required on site
You will be charged for the number of skips you want to hire, the size of the skip (as this affects the amount of waste that needs to be recycled/managed) and the period of time the skip must be on site before it can be collected.

Some types of waste require specialised (and more expensive) handling, management and disposal facilities.
